Although our own Cody Bye reported on this yesterday, the official word was just posted: Beta servers for Warhammer Online are shutting down for two months, with improvements cited as the reason.

* Improve open field skirmishes and battlefield objectives with major enhancements.
* Provide players with even more options to customize their character both through their abilities and visual appearance.
* Continue to enhance Public Quests and the PQ System.
* Prepare the elves for their release into the world!
